I got that one, Jim.

Bollig,
Currentlly the coral is just a static image with some clever "slits" in it allowing the fish to swim behind and in front of the coral. Jim aims to create coral built in full 3D, just like the fish are today. Not only would this look great and alow for coral movement, but also it would make collision avoidance much easier. This is really a quite time consuming job as it's really complex, but given enough time Jim will baffle us once more. More fish would be possible although more demanding on the video card (as will the 3D background) but if Jim wanted he could put a hundered more fish in there.

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
